proposalCENTRAL for Non-Profits, Associations and Philanthropic Organizations

The mission of a non-profit or philanthropic organization is measured by its impact on people.

What you’ll get:

  • Complete end-to-end hosted grants management solution
  • Fast implementation – days/weeks rather than months
  • Electronic announcement of new grant opportunities and available funding sources
  • Detailed reports throughout the grant life cycle

Why you want it:

  • Eliminates the headache and worry of running a grants management solution

  • Fosters collaboration and best practices across member organizations

proposalCENTRAL for the Biomedical Research Industry

An organization funding biomedical research has a unique set of processes and data collection requirements. Applicants must submit potentially large volumes of proposal data; a rigorous and potentially multi-staged peer review process is required to ensure that high-impact research is funded; and due to the multi-year nature of the work, following reporting requirements and outcome measurements is critical to ensuring that stated objectives and outcomes are being achieved.

proposalCENTRAL is the one-stop outsourced Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution for your biomedical grants management needs. With more than 100,000 registered user accounts worldwide (many of whom are top scientists in their field) and 4,500 registered institutions, proposalCENTRAL is the perfect solution for organizations that want to focus on their core business and not on managing IT systems.

What you’ll get:

  • Flexible data collection during the proposal process, including the ability to add a vetting stage (as LOI) to your proposal process
  • Robust peer and committee review functionality
  • Identification of new reviewers automatically using publicly available grant and publication data with proprietary matching technology
  • Full life cycle grants management to support progress reporting and grant closeout

Why you want it:

  • Supports your unique application data collection requirements
  • Structures your peer review the way that best meets your organization’s needs
  • Automatically searches for and recruits the most applicable experts to each proposal
  • Performs committee review in person or entirely online
  • Removes the paper chase by automating progress reporting
